"i cut all the fat off the corned beef before i slice it. easy dinner to fix. boil corned beef. no simmer. take out and cover to get cool for slicing. add carrots. simmer about 1/2 hour or longer. how soft do you want the carrots? then add potatoes, cook another 1/2 to 45 min then cut cabbage up in wedges and add to pan and cook another 1/2 hour or until cabbage is to your taste. slice corned beef and put on top. serve from pan. leftovers are even better the next day.
"directions are on the package of the corned beef. buy thin ones -- not big thick fat ones.
"try it you might love it. do you like cabbage?????"

That way, too, I can search for it online when I'm in the mood!
